This is the eighth hysterical book in the Alice series and our favorite one so
far. This time Alice and Patrick are getting married, Pamela's pregnant, and
Elizabeth's buying a new car. Well, not quite. It's all in the name of their
eighth grade heath project. Read and laugh as Alice in her friends try to muddle
through the real world.

Ann M. Martin breaks out of her Baby-Sitters Club mold to write this
brand new series for young adults. The first "diary" is written by Dawn,
an ex-BSC member and tells of her struggles in eighth grade and the changing world around
her.

The fifth book in the California Diaries series. Chris
"Ducky" McCray is seen as a goof off all his life but at sixteen he wants to be
something more. Whoever knew Martin could write from a guy's point of view!

A literary classic that everyone should read by the time they graduate high
school. Share in the thoughts and feelings of Holden Caulifield when he gets kicked
out of prep. school and spends three days in New York City.

to girls thirteen and older.

Three stories in one book! I Stay Near You shows the passing of a

you laugh and cry all at the same time.
